Ready to retire but can we?

I have worked full-time for over thirty years in law enforcement, as has my husband, though he has more than 40 years' worth of full-time work. Many of those years were on a swing shift and outdoors. The whole time, we paid into a pension fund that we hope will be there in two years when we might be able to retire.

I am angry that there are so many wealthy people who haven't worked like we have, but they don't pay their fair share of taxes, park their money overseas without penalty, and they get golden parachutes. That's wrong!
